I still do that... but most of my CD purchases are at goodwill anyways. $1 per CD is cheaper than buying an individual song

I mean, back in the days of physical media you pretty much had to if the publisher didn't think that particular song wasn't worthy of having a single released for it.

Yeah bought Use Your Illusion 2 for the Terminator 2 song, I think it was You Could Be Mine.

I wouldn't say I bought it just for one song, but in the early days of buying cassettes and CDs I would buy albums that I only knew one song from. I usually ended up liking the album as a whole though.

I was big into compilation albums when I was first getting into punk music. There were a handful of albums I got after hearing a song I liked on one of them.

Nah. Was going to when I got a $100 voucher to a music store for my birthday once, but my mom convinced me to just get the single so I could buy more stuff overall. Probably would have liked the rest of the album too, but it would've been a gamble. (S club 7; can't stand them nowdays but loved them when I was a kid.)

Yeah, bought Dark Side for Money cause I loved the bass line and wanted to learn it. Obviously the whole album is great.

I remember buying Weezer's green self titled for Hash Pipe, Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory for Crawling (that was the big single at the time) and Cold's Year of the Spider for Stupid Girl

Nope. Though I've bought a few without knowing jack shit about the band to varying results. My rule of thumb these days is, I have to like at least half of the songs on an album.

I did.

But I was usually very disappointed.

I'm very picky on what I love. So maybe 1 other song I'd deem "OK". It's very rare I ever like a whole or near whole album, and I'm very happy nowadays to never sit through an album whole, anymore.

Yes, of course. I bought albums without hearing any songs too, Trouser Press record guide (physical book back then) was my bible for a long time
